Spice Girls Cancel First UK Appearance

The Spice Girls got a chance to say “thank you” in person to Sir Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Atlantic Airlines, for hooking them up with their very own 747 “Spice One.”

Earlier today, they showed up at London’s Heathrow Airport to attend the grand opening of a new terminal, where they met up with Branson and posed for some pictures.

Unfortunately, with everything going so well for the “Wannabe” singers, something had to go wrong. And with Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton’s ankle on the mend, they’ve announced the cancellation of their “Strictly Come Dancing” appearance, scheduled for this Saturday.

But don’t fret, UK fans! The reason they opted out of the gig was to give Bunton more time to heal before they kick of their 17-date run at London’s O2 Arena later that night.

And the reviews are still mixed as to whether or not that show will go on. An inside source told press, “It’s too soon to say if Emma will be fit enough to join the other four girls on Saturday. She will see a doctor tomorrow, who will assess the damage.”
